Which sea would a ship float best in?
A sea comprised of liquid, with the greatest possible density.
Why does a ship float in sea water?
The general rule is that an object will float on water - or on any other liquid - if it has less density than the liquid.
This force help a ship float?
The force that helps a ship float is the buoyant force. The buoyant force is exerted by a fluid upwards that opposes the weight of the object immersed.
How are ship able to float?
Just like any other object, a ship will float if it has less density than the liquid on which it is supposed to float. Density = mass / volume; in the case of a ship, that includes the volume of the ship plus any air trapped inside.
Can a iron ship float?
Yes
How does the Oasis of the Sea cruise ship float?
boyancy in the hull of the ship
What is a sea going vessel?
its anything that can float in sea like a submarine,ship, yacht etc
Which sea would a ship float best in?
A sea comprised of liquid, with the greatest possible density.
Why ships floating in the sea?
ship float in the sea because water has less density than any substance ship has much weight and thatswhy it sinks
Why in dead sea ship float easily?
The water of the Dead Sea is unusually salty (even for a sea) and hence, it is also unusually dense.
How the ship floats on sea?
Displacement - the ship displaces an amount of water equal to its weight. Provided that this dowes not submerge the vessel, it will float.
Why does a ship float in sea water?
The general rule is that an object will float on water - or on any other liquid - if it has less density than the liquid.
Why do ship float better at sea than in fresh water?
Sea water has salt, and therefore a higher density.
This force help a ship float?
The force that helps a ship float is the buoyant force. The buoyant force is exerted by a fluid upwards that opposes the weight of the object immersed.
When the increase in the salinity of seawater result in an increase or decrease in density?
If you compare the density of sea water, and then compared the extremely salty Dead Sea, you will find that the more salt in the water, the higher is the density. Which is why you can float on the Dead Sea while reading a newspaper (which I once saw demonstrated in a documentary). Also, a ship will float lower on a fresh water lake, and float higher on salt water.

Why ship did not sink in the sea?
Because of buoyancy. Even though the steel of the ship weighs a lot more then water, the ship also has a lot of air in it (the ship is not a solid chuck of steel), the lightness of the air off sets the heaviness of the steel to allow it to float.
